The wreck of tug Carbon . It was being towed from Portland to Southampton for salvage when the towing line broke off the Needles in 1947. The ship drifted into Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight and ran aground on the rocks , its remained here rusting ever since ,only accessible during certain spring low tides .
I walked out onto the slippery bedrock around 5:30am this morning with friend and fellow photographer Rich Smith and was also joined by another friend and fellow photographer Jamie Currie slightly later on.

The wreck of the steam trawler 'Shereton'. It was built in 1907.
In 1947 the boat broke free from its moorings and was washed up on Hunstanton Beach Norfolk.
long time since I've been to Flickr ... try to catch up with everyone photos ... happy weekend to everyone :)
Sarsia, falling quite literally to pieces at the East Float, Wallasey. Apparently it was a marine research vessel, now I guess the marine life live in it, what comes around goes around I guess!

Halloween Time has officially returned to Disneyland, and I'm so excited. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and last year I was unable to shoot many of the decorations (due to lens constraints). This year, my 24-70 and I are ready to put some serious shooting on the schedule, so please enjoy this photo of Jack Skellington's decorating!
Thanks for your views, comments, and favorites!
Trebetherick
Another section of a wrecked ship on Trebetherick Point in the Camel Estuary.
This is another vessel which at some point in the past will have come to grief on the Doom Bar sand bar at the mouth of the Camel Estuary.
For centuries the Doom Bar has been regarded as a significant danger to shipiing. To be approached with caution in order to avoid running aground. When sails were the main source of power ships coming around Stepper Point would lose the wind, causing loss of steerage, leaving them to drift away from the shipping channel.
Richard Hellyer, the Sub-Commissioner of Pilotage at Padstow, gave evidence in 1859 that the Doom Bar was regarded as so dangerous that in a storm, vessels would risk being wrecked on the coast rather than negotiate the channel to Padstow harbour.
The Bar has accounted for more than 600 beachings, capsizes and wrecks since records began early in the nineteenth century, the majority of which are wrecks.
Despite improvements in maritime technology, the RNLI still deals with incidents on the Doom Bar. In February 1997, two fishermen drowned after their boat capsized. Two anglers had died in a similar incident in 1994. On 25th June 2007 the Padstow lifeboat along with a rescue helicopter, rescued the crews of two yachts in separate incidents from the area.

Une touche de couleur vibrante dans la grisaille automnale. Cette vieille coque de pêcheur, immatriculée à Paimpol, termine doucement sa vie dans un recoin de Plougrescant.
Berrow is a beautiful little town with a gorgeous beach situated near Burnham-on-Sea. The beach becomes really big during low tide where the water draws in a lot. After visiting the Cheddar Gorge where I could not muster up enough courage to go sit by the edge of the precipice and shoot, I decided to take the less adventurous route for my dusk shot...
I suffer from severe acrophobia that can't be quite explained in words and if you really want a good shot of the Cheddar gorge, it has to be with the horse shoe bend from the pinnacles. Though I made it almost to the edge, I quite could not pull that off! May be some other time eh?
Berrow beach is also home to the Norwegian barque SS Nornen shipwreck. I have always wanted to capture at least one of the many still very well preserved shipwrecks all along the coasts of Britain. Something about them is intriguing and if you read about them, you would be drawn to them just as I am to appreciate the courage and valour of the many men who would have lost their lives and the few who lived on to tell the tale...

The sand was really loose and you would easily be up to your knees as you approach the wreck. Wellies highly recommended as even though I had em, I ended up removing my shoes and going barefoot near the wreck. Quite an interesting evening in all...

Thanks for viewing and have a nice week ahead!
Making the trek to this abandoned plane was a bit surreal. I've dreamed about shooting photos at this plane for years and it was like a dream come true to finally see it in person. Unfortunately visitors are no longer allowed to drive up to the plane and you have to walk in (probably about 2 miles, felt like a million years). The area surrounding looks kind of like the moon which starts out as an interesting walk but trust me, the farther you go the more monotonous the walk gets. It felt like we truly worked to get here, even though it was an extremely easy walk. We went pretty late at night in order to encounter the least amount of people (didn't work, there were still a ton of people) so it was pretty cold. Once we finally came up to the plane which stays pretty hidden behind a sand dune for most of the walk, our attitudes completely shifted (at least until the walk back) and we spent a ton of time walking around and taking photos from every angle. Definitely a must for any photographer visiting Iceland.
